Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between gametes and other cell types in humans?

  • Gametes are produced through asexual reproduction, while other cells are produced through sexual reproduction.
  • Gametes are genetically identical, while other cells are genetically diverse.
  • Gametes have unpaired chromosomes, while other cells have paired chromosomes. (correct)
  • Gametes undergo mitosis, while other cells undergo meiosis.
  • What process results in non-identical cells like gametes?

  • Meiosis (correct)
  • Cloning
  • Mitosis
  • Fertilization
  • How does sexual reproduction differ from asexual reproduction in terms of offspring?

  • Sexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring, whereas asexual reproduction leads to identical offspring. (correct)
  • Asexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, unlike sexual reproduction.
  • Sexual reproduction involves two parents, while asexual reproduction involves one parent.
  • Asexual reproduction results in offspring with variations, while sexual reproduction produces clones.

    Study Notes

    • Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, with one type of cell called gametes having single, unpaired chromosomes like sperm and egg cells.
    • Gametes are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis, which results in non-identical cells unlike mitosis.
    • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to genetic mixing and variation in offspring.
    • Asexual reproduction only involves one parent, resulting in genetically identical offspring known as clones.
    • Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes or meiosis, only mitosis for cell division.
